Zulma Rodriguez Ortiz passed away on February 22, 2025, at her home in Lebanon, PA, surrounded by loved ones. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

Born in Salinas, Puerto Rico, to Victor M. Rodriguez and Luz M. Ortiz Guzman, she was known for her strength, honesty, generosity and creativity.

Zulma spoke her mind frequently and also knew how to have a good time. She loved to dance, party and make memories with family and friends. She spent some time working as a nurse while also always looking out for others. Along with her strength and honesty, Zulma was a gifted seamstress who designed wedding gowns, created custom pieces and even worked on large projects like reupholstering cars and boats. She had a deep love for her hometown of Salinas and enjoyed spending time by the ocean and diving. As a sign of love and respect, she was always greeted with 'Bendición,' a tradition that will continue in her memory.

Her creativity, strength and adventurous spirit will live on in our hearts. A private burial service will be held on March 7, 2025, at Fairview Cemetery. Thompson Funeral Home, Inc. is entrusted with the arrangements.  Please share your memories with the family at our online guest book at thompsonfuneralhomelebanon.com
